Chapel Services and Service Lists
As regular Chapel activities are currently not possible at present, we have resumed our 'Virtual Chapel' services which will take place until at least Ash Wednesday (17th February). Our first service of the term will be broadcast at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday 19th January. A special service is planned for each of the following dates:
Saturday 23rd January: Epiphany Carol Service
Tuesday 2nd February: Sung Eucharist of Candlemas
Wednesday 17th February: Evensong of Ash Wednesday
The COVID-19 situation is regularly reviewed by the College, and we hope that we will be able to welcome our families, friends and visitors before too long.
A Service List (which will be periodically updated) as well as a summary of our Virtual Chapel services can be found below:
